I typically pair this blog post with a companion YouTube video but we're switching things up. Going forward, all of my monthly favorites will be featured exclusively on the blog. This means not only will I share products here but I will also share experiences, events, truly anything I loved from the prior month!
home.
target accent pillows | This is a general recommendation because Target is pulling all the stops with their accent pillows! Go take a browse in their pillow section... there's a massive variety to choose from and they're actually cute. Ahem, and affordable!!
universal retractable screen door | I know this is such a specific favorite but if you're suffering with summer insects getting inside, this might be your solution. The retractable function makes for a smooth opening and I will specifically shout out how simple it was to install this! Gotta love an easy installation.
garden/plants.
soil & clay | I'm sure many online plant shops are great but I gave this one a try and I loved my experience. I was able to filter cat-friendly plants while browsing and the prices were extremely affordable! All the plants arrived safe and undamaged.
food.
other things.
Hello again, friends! Can't believe I'm saying this but nearly 60 thousand of you decided to show up and see what the deal with Vegamour is here on the blog. Incredible! Thank you for being here.
I'm back, exactly one year later, to give you the updated scoop. Am I still using Vegamour? Can I still recommend it? Have I tried any other Vegamour products? I'm here to keep it real, as always.
This review will not cover the basics of Vegamour, as you can check the original review here.

am I still using vegamour?
YES, I am! I have used Vegamour consistently for a full year (minus one month due to moving).
can you still recommend it?
Sure can! I'm going to share highlight photos of my hair's length and quality over the past year. You will see that not only has my hair grown significantly, but it is naturally thicker. For reference, I do not use any after-shower products aside from the serum and hair oil (for my ends). I have grown extensive amounts of NEW hair (literally, new baby hairs) and haven't experienced such volume since I was a kid. Seriously...
details: GRO revitalizing shampoo
This is the only different product I've tried from Vegamour, though there are options for hair, brows, lashes, etc.
GRO Revitalizing Shampoo $48 ($42 with subscription)
pros
Smells good: I don't like overwhelming scents but this has just the right amount. It's citrusy and subtle!
Easy to lather: A touch of water is enough to get a lather going.
(I think?) it works: My scalp is very much clean after use - it's not weighed down by filler ingredients. The overall fullness of my hair is noticeable.
It lasts longer than a month*: *If you wash your hair as little as I do. I wash my hair 1-2x a week. I've had the bottle for two months and I have plenty more to go!
cons
(I think??) it works?: I should know if it's working but I really can't tell. It has only been two months, however, and the website says results are noticeable after 90 days. I have faith in Vegamour after my experience with their serum, so I must point out that I haven't given it enough time to judge.
Need more than a "quarter-sized" amount per use: I know that's common with shampoos, but it makes more of a difference when it's a $50 bottle. Plus, I use this shampoo on only half my head (I use purple shampoo for the bottom half)... so I imagine you'd need a lot to lather your whole head.
so, overall thoughts?
I swear by the serum. Use the serum and use it as they instruct. It's a miracle product and worth the price if you're serious about hair solutions. The shampoo? Not certain. I'll keep you updated.
May was unintentionally themed with regard to the new things I tried lol. I just happened to discover a lot of foodie items! Didn't plan it... but I don't mind it. So here we are with a themed blog post for the honest fun of it. I hope ya'll are hongry!
product list.
bareburger vegan fish sandwich | New release! You have to give this a try if you're a fan of fish burgers (like I once was). It has the flavor, it has the texture, it has the little specks of veggies throughout! And the toppings were A+.
hungryroot bell pepper onion sauté | This product is totally not necessary but it's extremely helpful if you're a meal prepper. The amount of time this pre-chopped veggie mix saves me is unreal. But also, Hungryroot is a great brand overall. Here's my (outdated) review from the blog.
April was a good month to try things! I was feeling a little experimental this month, not sure why... maybe I'm growing sick of living in limbo while I simultaneously move out of the apartment. Either way, I got a fun list for ya.
product list.
e.l.f wow brow | I have naturally thick eyebrows so I like to keep them tame with a little pomade. This tinted brow gel is perfect for keeping my brows neat while also subtly boosting its color which I kinda like!
bitchin' chipotle sauce | Ian puts this on EVERYTHING. I'm not joking - pastas, breakfast, sandwiches, takeout... everything. He loves it. I do, too! It's smoky and flavorful all in a few ingredients!
